zero chance of a draft coming back because it actually makes people pay attention a little too much for their interests
This war machine isn't going to run itself.
Politicians from Mitt Romney to Beto O'Rourke have already expressed support for Mandatory Service requirements on high schoolers. I could very easily see someone like Dan Crenshaw or Mikie Sherrill slide out a turd of a provision that makes Service a requirement for state college admission or access to UI benefits or even Social Security / Medicare.
I don't know if we'll ever see "The Draft" as we knew it in the 70s. But what about a law forcing unemployed people with outstanding student loans to work off the debt in the National Guard? I suspect that could be made politically palatable easily enough.
